Letter to a Character, Writer, Director

Dear Arthur Miller,

My name is Biff Loman and i am a character in your play The Death of a Salesman. There are a couple of things that i would like to ask you about my character in the play and even the play itself. I would first like to start off by saying that this play is a work of art and could not have been any better. The first question i would like to ask is why am i the only one that sees i need to go for something better other than being miserable when my father and brother will not see this as well. Don't get me wrong my father and brother are both great men but there life could be so much better if they could accept that. In the book Happy says " Sometimes I sit in my apartment alone-all alone. and i think of the rent I'm paying. And its crazy".(12) This shows that he notices that is life is not what it could be but at the same time he does not want to make it any better. Well thanks for the amazing play and making me.
